QuickStaff Benefits and Insights
Why use QuickStaff?
Key differentiators & advantages of QuickStaff
- Centralized Location: QuickStaff organizes all staff related information in a single location under the headings of event, staff and client. The events tab organizes crucial information like the event’s start date, time, name, staff confirmation and actions taken. The staff section contains details relevant to confirmed employees and their contact information, while the client section details information on the client and contact information.
- Robust Communication: QuickStaff facilitates robust communication between organizations and staff members as it is accessible via cloud and mobile applications. The mobile app ensures that last-minute changes are not missed by the parties involved and scheduling issues can be avoided.
- Simple Interface: It provides an easy-to-use interface, which simplifies staffing events. Users just have to create events and place staff members accordingly. It also helps businesses upgrade from cumbersome Excel sheets and the hassle of sending mass emails by automating these processes.
- Scalability: QuickStaff can scale according to the growing needs of businesses. Its platform can be used to handle single or multiple events. Its scalability can be tuned with the changing dynamics of the event management companies — where project requirements are diverse and can change from small events to big ones in a jiffy.
- Schedules Emails: It comes with tools to schedule emails, track staff responses and assign them roles on a first-come-first-served basis. Details of the event like start date, end date and time are sent via email to staff members who are assigned to it. Accordingly, the staff members can then accept or reject the roles as per their availability.
- Integrates Calendars: Users can synchronize QuickStaff with various calendar applications like Google Calendar, Outlook, iCal, and Yahoo to get acquainted with staff availability and anticipate low staffing weeks ahead of event dates. It also effortlessly tracks upcoming events.
- Easy-to-Use: QuickStaff has a high adoption rate among employees as it is easy-to-use and does not require training to get started on its features and offerings.
- Improves Attendance: It helps reduce employee no-shows and last-minute shift dropping by confirming staff attendance. It also notifies shift managers when employees haven’t confirmed their shifts.
- Saves Time: It makes life easier by organizing everything at a single location. Users don’t have to juggle multiple texts, calls and emails for a single event.
